經文
Scripture
不要自欺；神是輕慢不得的，因為人種的是甚麼，收的也是甚麼。順著肉體撒種的，必從肉體收敗壞；順著聖靈撒種的，必從聖靈收永生。我們行善不可喪志，因為若不灰心，到了適當的時候就有收成。所以，一有機會就要向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更要這樣。
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
— 加拉太書六章7–10節
— Galatians 6:7–10
一、這段經文與前文的關係
1. How This Passage Connects to the Previous Verses
加拉太書6:1–6講到挽回跌倒的人、互相擔當重擔、省察自己，以及支持教導真道的人。
Galatians 6:1–6 speaks of restoring the fallen, carrying one another’s burdens, examining oneself, and supporting those who teach the word.
第6:7–10節則把這些教導放在「撒種與收成」的原則之下。
Verses 6:7–10 place these teachings under the principle of “sowing and reaping.”
保羅提醒信徒：每天怎樣生活、怎樣選擇、怎樣使用時間、金錢、言語和能力，都像在田裡撒種；最終必有收成。
Paul reminds believers that how we live, choose, and use our time, money, words, and strength each day is like sowing seed in a field; there will eventually be a harvest.
二、「不要自欺；神是輕慢不得的」
2. “Do Not Be Deceived: God Is Not Mocked”
第7節說：「不要自欺；神是輕慢不得的。」
Verse 7 says, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked.”
這提醒我們，人很容易以為自己的選擇沒有後果，或以為可以一邊順著肉體生活，一邊期待屬靈的收成。
This reminds us that people easily think their choices have no consequences, or that they can live according to the flesh while expecting a spiritual harvest.
但神是公義的，祂不會被表面的宗教表現或自我安慰欺騙。
But God is just; He is not deceived by outward religious performance or self-consolation.
三、兩種撒種：肉體與聖靈
3. Two Kinds of Sowing: Flesh and Spirit
第8節把人生分成兩條路：順著肉體撒種，或順著聖靈撒種。
Verse 8 divides life into two paths: sowing to the flesh or sowing to the Spirit.
| 撒種 | 表現 | 收成 |
|---|---|---|
| 順著肉體撒種 | 滿足私慾、放縱、嫉妒、憤怒、自私、逃避責任 | 敗壞 |
| 順著聖靈撒種 | 順服神、愛人、行善、節制、忍耐、忠心 | 永生 |
| Sowing | Expression | Harvest |
|---|---|---|
| To the flesh | Gratifying desires, indulgence, envy, anger, selfishness, avoiding responsibility | Corruption |
| To the Spirit | Obeying God, loving others, doing good, self-control, patience, faithfulness | Eternal life |
「撒種」不是一次性的大決定，而是每天的小選擇。
“Sowing” is not a one-time major decision but daily small choices.
例如：
For example:
- 順著肉體撒種：沉迷色情、報復、說謊、貪婪、懶散、背後批評、逃避責任。
- Sowing to the flesh: indulging pornography, revenge, lying, greed, laziness, gossip, or avoiding responsibility.
- 順著聖靈撒種：禱告、讀經、饒恕、誠實、服侍、幫助有需要的人、控制情緒和言語。
- Sowing to the Spirit: praying, reading Scripture, forgiving, being honest, serving, helping those in need, and controlling emotions and words.
四、「收敗壞」與「收永生」
4. “Reap Corruption” and “Reap Eternal Life”
順著肉體撒種的人，必從肉體收敗壞。
Those who sow to the flesh will reap corruption from the flesh.
「敗壞」不是指神隨意懲罰人，而是指罪本身帶來的破壞：關係破裂、良心受損、習慣捆綁、失去平安、生命衰敗。
“Corruption” does not mean God arbitrarily punishes people; it refers to the destruction sin itself brings: broken relationships, a damaged conscience, enslaving habits, loss of peace, and declining life.
順著聖靈撒種的人，必從聖靈收永生。
Those who sow to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
這不是說人靠行善賺取救恩；信徒的永生是因信基督而領受的恩典。
This does not mean people earn salvation by doing good; believers receive eternal life by grace through faith in Christ.
而是說：靠聖靈生活的人，會在現在經歷永生的能力，並在將來收成神所應許的生命。
Rather, those who live by the Spirit experience the power of eternal life now and will reap the life God has promised in the future.
五、「行善不可喪志」
5. “Do Not Grow Weary of Doing Good”
第9節說：「我們行善不可喪志，因為若不灰心，到了適當的時候就有收成。」
Verse 9 says, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
行善常常看不到即時果效。
Doing good often does not show immediate results.
我們可能幫助人卻被誤解，服事卻沒有人感謝，禱告卻似乎沒有改變，愛人卻仍然被拒絕。
We may help others but be misunderstood, serve without thanks, pray without visible change, or love others and still be rejected.
保羅提醒我們：收成有「適當的時候」，不是按我們的時間表，而是按神的時間。
Paul reminds us that the harvest comes “in due season,” not according to our timetable but according to God’s timing.
因此，行善不是為了立刻得到回報，而是因為信靠神、順服聖靈，並相信祂必按祂的時間成就。
Therefore, we do good not for immediate reward but because we trust God, follow the Spirit, and believe He will bring about His purpose in His time.
六、「向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更要這樣」
6. “Do Good to Everyone, Especially the Household of Faith”
第10節說，一有機會就要向眾人行善，向信徒一家的人更要這樣。
Verse 10 says, “As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
這節經文有兩個重點：
This verse has two key points:
1. 向眾人行善
1. Do Good to Everyone
我們的善行不應只限於自己喜歡的人、同一教會的人或與自己立場相同的人。
Our good works should not be limited to people we like, people in our own church, or people who share our views.
我們要向不同背景、不同信仰、不同需要的人行善。
We should do good to people of different backgrounds, beliefs, and needs.
2. 特別顧念信徒一家
2. Especially Care for the Household of Faith
信徒在基督裡是一家人；我們有共同的父神、共同的救主和共同的使命。
Believers are one family in Christ; we share the same Father, Savior, and mission.
因此，我們要特別留意教會中的孤單者、病患、長者、單親家庭、經濟困難者、照顧者和受傷的人。
Therefore, we should especially notice the lonely, sick, elderly, single-parent families, those in financial need, caregivers, and the wounded in the church.
七、心理學角度：習慣如何塑造生命
7. A Psychological Perspective: How Habits Shape Life
「撒種與收成」也可以從習慣的角度理解。
“Sowing and reaping” can also be understood through habits.
每天的小選擇，會慢慢形成習慣；習慣會塑造性格；性格會影響人生方向。
Daily small choices gradually form habits; habits shape character; character influences the direction of life.
例如：
For example:
- 每天花時間滑手機、比較、抱怨，會慢慢塑造焦慮和不滿。
- Spending daily time scrolling, comparing, and complaining gradually shapes anxiety and dissatisfaction.
- 每天禱告、感恩、運動、閱讀、服侍，會慢慢塑造平安、節制和喜樂。
- Daily prayer, gratitude, exercise, reading, and service gradually shape peace, self-control, and joy.
要改變收成，先要改變撒種；要改變撒種，先要靠聖靈建立新的選擇和習慣。
To change the harvest, first change the sowing; to change the sowing, first rely on the Spirit to establish new choices and habits.
八、今天可以怎樣撒聖靈的種？
8. How Can We Sow to the Spirit Today?
1. 選擇一個行善行動
1. Choose One Act of Goodness
例如：幫助有需要的人、鼓勵灰心的人、陪伴孤單的人、為牧者禱告，或向家人表達感謝。
For example: help someone in need, encourage someone discouraged, accompany someone lonely, pray for a pastor, or express thanks to family.
2. 拒絕肉體的撒種
2. Refuse to Sow to the Flesh
例如：拒絕謊言、報復、嫉妒、懶散、放縱或背後批評。
For example: refuse lying, revenge, envy, laziness, indulgence, or gossip.
3. 建立每天的小習慣
3. Build Small Daily Habits
例如：每天讀一段經文、禱告五分鐘、寫下三件感恩的事，或主動幫助一個人。
For example: read a passage daily, pray for five minutes, write down three things you are thankful for, or intentionally help one person.
4. 不因沒有即時果效而放棄
4. Do Not Give Up Because Results Are Not Immediate
相信神會在祂的時間帶來收成。
Trust that God will bring a harvest in His time.
5. 優先顧念信徒一家
5. Prioritize the Household of Faith
留意教會中有需要的人，並以實際行動支持他們。
Notice those in need in the church and support them with practical action.
九、禱告
9. Prayer
親愛的天父：
Dear Heavenly Father,
感謝祢藉著加拉太書提醒我：我每天的選擇、言語、時間、金錢和能力，都是在撒種。
Thank You for reminding me through Galatians that my daily choices, words, time, money, and strength are all seeds being sown.
主啊，求祢使我不自欺，也不輕慢祢。
Lord, keep me from self-deception and from mocking You.
求祢使我不順著肉體撒種，免得收敗壞；使我順著聖靈撒種，收永生。
Keep me from sowing to the flesh and reaping corruption; help me sow to the Spirit and reap eternal life.
求祢使我在行善時不喪志，不因沒有即時果效而灰心。
Help me not grow weary in doing good or become discouraged because results are not immediate.
求祢使我看見身邊人的需要，並把握機會向眾人行善，特別顧念信徒一家的人。
Help me see the needs around me, seize opportunities to do good to everyone, and especially care for the household of faith.
奉主耶穌基督的名祈求，阿們。
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
結語
Conclusion
加拉太書6:7–10提醒我們，人生好像田地：我們每天所撒的種，決定將來所收的果。
Galatians 6:7–10 reminds us that life is like a field: the seeds we sow each day determine the fruit we will reap.
因此，不要順著肉體撒種，也不要因行善沒有即時果效而灰心；要順著聖靈撒種，把握機會行善，相信神必在適當的時候賜下收成。
Therefore, do not sow to the flesh, nor grow weary because good works show no immediate results. Sow to the Spirit, seize opportunities to do good, and trust that God will bring a harvest in due season.
